I know they were looked down on because of their handling but when I drove my 79 Town Car I was so enveloped in luxury, comfort and smoothness I never had any urge to hit the curves hard or to race off from a stop light. You just enjoyed the calm, serene environment. I even had the urge to listen to soft music classical instead of my usual hard rock…lol!
Is it weird that I regularly visit this clip to de=stress by gazing at a gorgeous car while being lulled with beautiful music? This is my personal ASMR slice of heaven.
I took my drivers license test in a 1975 Town Car at the age of 16. The tester / instructor asked me if I could parallel park the car. I asked her I would try if she would parallel park it first. She laughed and checked the park as a pass. Although this car was HUGE, it was a very easy car to drive. The power steering was like butter. I was always shocked at how fast you could turn onto a street with just one finger. The ride on the highway was like riding on air. My Dad had a 1977 Grand Marque that was his company car. It was also a fantastic car.
That driver's test story made me smile. Cool lady. I took my test in 1976 in a 74 Sedan Deville and thankfully didn't crash bumpers in my parallel parking test, though a change of underwear was on my checklist. LOL. Thanks for sharing that story.
I took my first drivers test in Illinois in the Family Wagon October 1983 It was a 75 Ford Country Squire Parallel parking was not asked of me on that cold rainy day I did pass my road test 😎
@Keith I was born in 1982 and I'd just as soon hear it over the stuff in commercials today. I think it's calming and soothing, frankly! Even jazz instrumentals would match cars like these.
The music in this commercial is outstanding!!!! My father and uncle both owned a 75 and 78 Lincoln Towncar Coupe. I want to buy one and have it restored for my 50th in 9 years lol
Yes, the did!! Much more so and better than any of the import makes. Is it too much to hope that the American automakers make a return to traditional luxury?
+texan903 America will only go back to this once the public demands it. At the moment the public seems to have no interest in going back to a better America.

Magnificent Automobiles. Young people who have never driven one have no idea how well these cars ride or how comfortable they are. Suv's and pick-ups are big but ride like crap compared to these. Leather seats filled with cement and after 2 hours you get out and you need a Chiropractor.
We had a 73 as our family car my dad loved that thing, that was when he didn't have it up on jacks stands or literally have to climb into the engine compartment to work on it. It was cool for long trips in that it rode like a cloud. it was also tobacco friendly as every seat had an ashtray an lighter. However, no one in my family smoked.
I own a 72 continental, in triple black, 61000 original miles and stored for many years, all original, love these big lincolns, thanks for posting this commercial :)
Gosh these car's were really luxurious and stylish for their day! Thought to the finer details of trim and interior fittings that you just do not see today.. a true luxury car for the times :)
@kylekohberger9663 They looked (and STILL look) better than what pass for cars today (the Town Car is my favorite model in this video though not necessarily the color combination; with that tan vinyl roof and interior, I'd have preferred the dark brown paint, the color of that standard Continental)!
Incredible! I own a 1977 - same as this car but different front grille. I love the elegant music in this ad. I would love to get the original 16mm film reel of this.
I’ve been across America as a kid on vacation in my father’s blue 75’ Lincoln land yacht “what a great car & super comfortable”. These big cars are still more comfortable than anything today and with a 400 or 460 4 barrel they could move too.
Thank complacency, goin on right today. Japan took an American car and not only made it burn cleaner, but increased the gas mileage. Not a culture of excellence here. Profit, profit, profit.
Once was fortunate enough to have a 78 Town Coupe. Ultimate OTT excessive luxury on the GRAND scale. Never should have let it go. 89 Town Car Signature was another beautiful vehicle on a slightly smaller scale. Currently have beautiful low mileage 2007 Signature Limited. Last generation of REAL American 🇺🇸 luxury. This one will literally carry me to my grave!
How times have changed...Luxury used to be about serenity, comfort and style. Today, it's all about "performance." Unfortunately, the age of elegance is behind us and will never return. Welcome to the vulgar and savage "future" we were all so excited about not long ago.
I think it's also due to a shift in "aspirational aesthetics." Meaning people want flash and dash now rather than class. Who knows anything about classiness anymore? I think it's partly due to the rise of "new money" versus "old money." There's usually a pretty big difference between people who were born into money versus people who "made it." The latter are vulgar and have a huge desire to be noticed and they love new, stupid novelties because it's something they can use to show off with.
Mustangs/Camaros/Chargers are everywhere and such a borefest. Besides, modern cars handle better, have more power, get better fuel mileage, and are more comfortable. However, show me a vehicle today that has the comfort and smooth ride of these monstrosities. These enormous large barges are where it's at!
Continental Class I'm dying to know what those seats in the Town Car felt like. That pillow top with that fabric. Looks like you would just sink into them.
StrongEnough78 I have a 77 Town Car and yes, those seats are like sitting on a comfy couch. The seats with the springs in them and the comfy Lincoln ride is like floating on a cloud.
My dad bought a new '76 4 door town car for $10,000 cash. Black with red velour interior. He asked one of his friends what he thought, and the guy said it was really nice, but looked like a New Orleans whore house. I really loved that car.
@ddoyle11 I know what you mean! While these cars were manufactured before my lifetime (I was born in 1982), had I been around back then, had the financial wherewithal and was looking to buy a new 1975 Lincoln, I would've special ordered a Continental Sedan with the Town Car package w/ the split bench w/ Media Velour, presumably about $665.62 extra (that was the '74 price; possibly, it didn't change for '75), in Silver Blue Diamond Fire Metallic (order code=3R), a $167.00 option, w/Dark Blue Custom Pin Stripe (order code=4), Dark Blue full vinyl roof (order code=FB; the 'F' indicated a full vinyl roof while 'L' indicated the landau version, the first season it was available!) and Dark Blue Media Velour (order code=JB; Did you know that, beginning with the '74 Town Car and Town Coupe, the velour was available ONLY with the Twin Comfort Lounge Seats option? In my opinion, it would've been worth the extra money for such practical comfort.). The aforementioned color combination is not the only one I like, but it's one of my favorites. Among other options I would've gotten would be the 4-wheel disc brakes (wise idea from the manufacturer!) not only for the convenience but, most importantly, the safety! Not to mention, in my experience, disc brakes are not only safer than drum brakes (yes, I've driven all 4 drum brakes too!), the discs are also MUCH EASIER to work on! MUCH MORE straightforward design! Back to the velour seats, another feature I like about them is the pique stitching between the head restraints and the pillow on the back rest and above the latter on the seatback. If you've noticed, it appears Lincoln decided to copy the Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham by not only using the wreath around the Lincoln star (I mean, think about it, Lincoln matching the Town Car with Cadillac's Fleetwood in a subtle way!) but also, with the roof restyling for 1975, you can also tell they loosely modeled the look after the 1971-1976 Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham models (especially the center pillar)! I'm also a fan of the '71-'76 Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham too! Oh, if you want to know where I got the color and upholstery codes information, check out lincolnlandinc.com.
This, the 1941 Lincoln, and the Kennedy Lincoln were the best looking cars the brand ever offered. That said, this sales pitch is pretty hokey as it focuses on 'fake' things like vinyl, applique, etc. when it should have talked more about ride, features (power everything), and so on.
No way they could make a car like this today. Nowadays cars are absolutely ass dirt ugly. This car is beautiful beyond belief. Times changed for the worse.
In the 70s everything was cheap and flimsy compared to the past. Nowadays stuff is made SO crappily that that stuff from the 70s looks good. In the 70s we were in a huge economic downturn. Everyone took shortcuts on making everything. Now we just ship everything in from china. A word of advice- buy American made. Invest in this great country.
That's right. These Lincolns and the Cadillacs of the 70s had far less quality in the interior and paint and body than the 60s. Engine durability was good though in most .
@Jon O I'm 39 and, my whole life, I never understood the hype with foreign cars. American are the ONLY kind of cars and/or trucks I've ever owned or even want to!
Roger E Well that's no surprise since he later went on to grace us all with the presence of those tacky K-Cars..lol! My grandfather was an executive with GM during the same period and he had some funny stories as well. : )
Pretty car. I would have ordered one in a deep burgundy with blue leather. One definitely needed to get the optional larger gas tank to fuel this beast for more miles. The way though he pronounced Coupe, even though technically correct, got a little annoying. Some lovely homes they filmed in front of. The woman they showed had a total Jacqueline Smith hairdo...loved it.
Imagine these bad boys with airbags? My God you talk about safety with side curtain airbags as well. No one dies in one of these if only the technology was the way it is in 2017!
People make fun of these old land yachts all the time, but they really were and still are the most comfortable things to ever hit the road!
Yes they are and at 7300 lbs solid.

@@jasonhsu4711 I can huff and puff and blow a Smart ForTwo over.

Yes, the did!! Much more so and better than any of the import makes. Is it too much to hope that the American automakers make a return to traditional luxury?

We may some day see that return but first we will more than likely need to see a great depression with the democrats in charge.
I miss these beautiful velour interiors. Luxury cars can only be ordered with leather nowadays. I HATE leather.
i watch this video when im stressed out. its pure gold and one day i will buy one of these land barges
Magnificent Automobiles. Young people who have never driven one have no idea how well these cars ride or how comfortable they are. Suv's and pick-ups are big but ride like crap compared to these. Leather seats filled with cement and after 2 hours you get out and you need a Chiropractor.
Oh totally agree. Such a SMOOTH ride too. They usually had great smooth engines and the seats and leg room were magnificent. The best cars ever made.
As a young person, I am saving up for exactly one of these. I don't like modern cars, they feel horrible to drive, and have poor visibility.
Beautiful boats on 4 wheels. COO- PAY lolol. Pure class.
Beautiful, from every angle. That lined trunk is insane.
I had a '76 Town Car. Don't know how many times I've regretted trading it off.
American luxury at its finest. Those days are gone forever ;(
Those Cartier clocks they make so much of, have usually died... But wow what a beast. Really majestic.
I love the house in the background of the brown Town Car!
Just bought me one. Absolutely perfect in every way.
Lincoln is the best luxury car, I have been driving them for years
Nice! I own a 1975 Lincoln Continental Coupe. In the process of restoring it back to it's original glory.

I saw this video for the first time when I was 17 and now I’m 24 and finally own a 1976 Lincoln 2 Door Continental Coupe
Nothing like a good old land yacht. You feel a lot safer in there!

Thank you for uploading.
I drive a 1975 Continental Mark IV and have done since 2002.
Absolutely beautiful luxury car, I love it, rides like a dream, top of the line
I still see the beauty in these cars

Before 77 the Lincoln and Mercury Marquis had the same grille.
@@Dallas_K That's what I said.
Better then today's car's
I would trade my 2019 Nautilus for any one of those in mint condition! The beauty of those cars is astounding !
Someone needs to start making luxury cars like this again. I'm sure there's a market for it.
emissions and such will stop that things are meant to last 7 years then break
King. I agree
There is a market for it my friend, it's called The Wealthy car collectors at Barrett-Jackson😂
King Whombat, I would buy one. I’m 18 and other people my age want something that’s no even 1% sporty.
As an SUV maybe as a car no. The Government is one of the reasons why they got rid of such huge vehicles like these. Gas mileage etc.
build em again - i'll buy one.
This is so beautiful... I really need one of these.
Now these were Lincolns!!!!
I’ve been across America as a kid on vacation in my father’s blue 75’ Lincoln land yacht “what a great car & super comfortable”. These big cars are still more comfortable than anything today and with a 400 or 460 4 barrel they could move too.
I like how the term Coupé is pronounced correctly in this video.
The Town Coupe very distinctive & elegant
I own a 75 Continental Town Coupe, black with red interior. It is a wonder car to drive.
Very nice I got one as well black and red interior I live in Sydney Australia bought the car last year from Florida
You can thank governmental gas MPG laws and EPA crap for these wonderful cars going away. I've had 3 Town cars, loved them all.
Governments always destroy things. Always.
The 80s Town Cars seemed to continue the tradition downsized. With the 302 instead of the 460.
Thank complacency, goin on right today. Japan took an American car and not only made it burn cleaner, but increased the gas mileage. Not a culture of excellence here. Profit, profit, profit.
I learned to drive in a '76 Town Car back in 1991 at age 15.
probably would fall asleep driving this damn thing

This was a great time in our country's history ......… Before being "ghetto" (Kardashians, Serena Williams, Jay-Z, etc., etc.,) was chic ..

True luxury.

Don't fret it's been taken care of and is still on the road.
The cops aren't helping you because the Chief's brother-in-law has it in his garage.
used to have a 79 town car i miss it.
This car doesn’t even fit into most parking spots available today. Parking spaces were bigger back in 1975.
I knew these were called coach lamps even in the 80's, young people call these opera lights.
America... just look at what you sent to the wreckers to be crushed, melted and then sent to Asia to come back as Kias, Hondas and Hyundais!!!
they didn't have to send them to Asia. all 3 of those vehicles are made in the USA. and Lincolns are now just rebadged ford tauruses.

Perfect except for a politically correct 100mph speedo..! Love the chrome bumpers - why is everything painted these days.
Reduced materials and production cost. Began with the rubber "Endura" front bumper of the 68 Pontiac Lemans / GTO.
